This week’s Podcast Short looks at a wave of new chemical laws in California and a surge in preliminary registrations under Turkey’s REACH-like chemicals regime.
In California, Governor Gavin Newsom signed five chemical-related bills into law, including measures that add requirements for Proposition 65 settlements and track the use of PFAS-containing pesticides across the state.
Meanwhile, in Turkey, authorities received around 40,000 provisional registrations from companies under the KKDIK, the country’s chemicals management law.
